The Phantom of the Opera 1925
While you can tell there was a huge hack job to the story over numerous edits, this still holds up, especially with that gloomy ending.

Second, everyone is so damn charming. Everything Takashi said made me crack up. There are also so many scenes where something totally absurd is happening in the background when the main characters are having a serious conversation.
On a similar note, it’s incredible how well they handled the…
